Neeraj Vora: The writer behind comedies like Hera Pheri & Golmaal will be remembered with a smile




Neeraj Vora, an accomplished actor, writer and director, breathed his last during the early hours of Thursday. His contribution to cinema will be remembered for years and that too, with a smile.


Showbiz lost a rare gem today. Neeraj Vora, who passed away earlier today, dedicated his life to entertaining the world. With memorable roles like Sukhiya, the dedicated man-Friday to Anil Kapoor in Virasat, the CBI scientist in Baadshah, amongst many others, Neeraj’s was the face that we grew to love in most films of the late 1990s-early 2000s.

Neeraj was a standout performer who fit perfectly into the role of the man who was the emotional touchstone of the hero. His characters in films like Pukar, Dhadkan and many others reflected this well but his artistic vision was much broader than being a performer. An exemplary writer and a director who played well with timing, Neeraj Vora will be remembered for his contribution to Hindi cinema.

It was Ram Gopal Varma’s Rangeela, that truly brought him to the spotlight. Not many know that Neeraj Vora wrote the dialogues for the cult classic film that introduced the audience to an unexplored side of Aamir Khan and gave an excellent platform to then newcomer, Urmila Matondkar. Not just Rangeela, Neeraj is behind some of the most popular films of that era. He wrote comedies like Hera Pheri, Golmaal, Badshah, Hulchul, Garam Masala, Awara Paagal Deewana, dramas like Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, Josh, and even mysteries like Ajnabee among many others.

A source tells Deccan Chronicle, “Aamir strongly recommended the Rakesh Sharma biopic to Shah Rukh as a script worth walking that extra mile for. More so, since Aamir intends to devote a substantial period of his time to a very dear project of his, presumably the Mahabharat, and has stopped accepting any other assignments currently.”

Kadvi Hawa

The film explores the much relevant topic , global climate change and its link with humanitarian crisis.
There is a very interesting connect between the two main characters played by Sanjay mishra and Ranvir shorey.

Mishra lives in a remote village in the norther belt where farmer suicide is rampant and his son becomes the next target of bank to clear the debts . Mishra in an attempt to save his son forms a bond with Shorey who is a bank employee responsible to recover the money. He is behind the farmers to earn his commission so that he can bring his family along who lives in coastal Odisha where this particular area is under threat due rising sea level . So basically the two are a part of a chain process with a common enemy that is climate change .

Best thing about the film is that it is neither preachy nor gets into documentary mode and the focus is on the interesting tale of these two characters and their life.
Sanjay Mishra is incredible and it could be counted among the best performances from a male actor this year. Rest of the cast including Shorey and Thilothama are good.

If we can look over slight slow pace then Kadvi Hawa is definitely a fantastic film and should be watched.

That Bollywood is exploring topics like Climate change is really huge .
